still, i suppose the chances of anyone doing that search are slim, unless they come across the A’s wikistumble plug for his book

David
Ms Theokopoulos’ case was decided, as are all such referrals, by a completely automated process. The Amazon code is very detailed, and the review you referred to was judged to be OTT* (off the topic). I can assure you that each contribution is assessed purely on its own score and no records of any kindabout any individual customers are available from our computer system. Since the matter was due to a misunderstanding – a mistaken identity – Ms Theokopoulos’ contributions will be as welcome in the future as they have been in the past.

*Amazon Guidelines For Authors 2240:iii:C
However your work has not been entirely in vein. Your contextual editing has improved the wikistumble original. The parenthesized phrase pursued by A is a masterstroke- for it introduces the dichotomy between A as public author and A as secret agent involved in the plot of the book he is himself writing. The resulting empathic schizophrenia creates for the reader what the neoZizekian school calls a cognitive analogue of the bifocal monocle. as G.Atzmon has already indicated, to grasp this bifocality is a sine qua non for anyone seeking to develop a mature understanding of A’s fiction.

Wed, 10 Oct 2012 23:00:15 +0000http://www.deliberation.info/?p=22526#comment-17021Even tough all your posts on deLib are brief, dry and often boring (sorry) bits of factual information, I had a hunch that you wrote the suspenseful and enchanting work you reference above but were too modest to admit it.
To verify my suspicion I went to amazon. com where I found you–David Golden– an author of computer tutorials.
In the past I have posted reviews on amazon of books I had never read but happened to have an instinctive animus against–and I always trust my instincts. The reviews stayed there, but it appears, after my experience of today, that they no longer allow unapproved postings. So instead, they sent me this:

BOOK REVIEW
Exciting and fresh, October 10, 2012
By Ariadna (USA)
This review is for: ColdFusion MX with Dreamweaver MX (Paperback)
This is the most suspenseful cyberbook and small wonder: DG is also a thriller writer who uses a lot of his computer programming knowledge to good advantage in his plots. His latest, announced in the London Review of Books is described as: “a searing and action-packed novel in which the demonic antihero Alad Gitzmon (pursued by the brave anti-Semitic campaigner and propalestinian e-activist Ali Abuminah) uses subliminal messages encoded in a matzo ad sax jingle to persuade six million Ashkenazim Jews to emigrate to Israel. Meanwhile his accomplice Khan al Kif has released the fiendish serppx worm into the Israeli Immigration Kontrol computer system, causing the new immigrants to be misclassified as Arabs. All six million are held in hastily constructed concentration camps, etc etc etc

ALIYAH BOOMI recently came across this on wikistumble. I haven’t yet found any trace of the novel, so I suspect that the wikistumble article has been written by the author in advance of its e-publication. Perhaps the full novel has not yet been finished. Despite the reason offered, I feel the ending, in its present form is weak. But it would be an ideal film script for Sam Bacile. DH
Aliya Boom – in a searing and action-packed musical novel anti-Semitic campaigner and propalestinian e-activist Ali Abuminah’s demonic antihero Alad Gitzmon uses subliminal messages encoded in a matzo ad sax jingle to persuade six million Ashkenazim Jews to emigrate to Israel. Meanwhile his accomplice Khan al Kif has released the fiendish serppx worm into the Israeli Immigration Kontrol computer system, causing the new immigrants to be misclassified as Arabs. all six million are held in hastily constructed concentration camps, surrounded by fifty-foot high and three-metre concrete walls. The thickness of the concrete is mainly for the protection of the detainees, as, due to the extremely low price of real estate there, the camps have been sited around the Dimona nuclear weapons laboratory. The Talmudic authorities learn too late that the serpxx virus has wormed its way into the Dimona site’s central computer system. Underground silos are put on Red Alert by the rogue computer, the warheads are primed and inserted into IBCMs by robots, and detonations are set at 24 hours – cancel disabled. Prime Minister Ben Shamin is informed of the crisis whilst he is reading to a kindergarten class from a book called My Feral Rhino. He has a terrible decision to make – to release megadeath on every major world capital, or to sacrifice the interned Arabs. He is helicoptered to the Wailing Wall where he places his moral agony before the Creator, who, of course, knows the truth of the matter, and advises that the Goyim capitals must regretfully be sacrificed. Shamin orders the missiles to be launched, then phones his broker to make some put options. He visits his rebbe, who blesses him. There is soon another panic. General Schlomo, at the head of the Dimona Rapid Evacuation Procedure calls on a top secret phone line to inform Shamin that the missile launching systems have all been f_cked by the Serpxx worm. Shamin contacts the head of Mossad to get onto Sky and the other global news networks a.s.a.p. and order them to announce every five minutes that Iranian agents posing as art students are planning a terrorist nuke outrage in Israel. A famous peace activist, whom people are whispering may be a future Nobel Prizewinner, is tipped off by a Mossdnik acquaintance, and very quickly writes an article on his website telling all Arab Israeli citizens who are able to do so, to travel to Dimona to show solidarity with their Arab brethren. Meanwhile Shamin has ordered six coaches carrying Palestinian children to the Holocaust Museum, to be diverted to Dimona. He is very agitated. He rings his broker anxiously. A miracle! The broker had had a long liquid lunch and forgotten the put options. Shamin is able to cancel his order. Shamin’s secretary comes in whilst he is rejoicing. The scene becomes steamy. As they are putting their clothes back on they sing a duet, praising the benevolence of the Alm_ghty who looks after his chosen people, and has made them more intelligent and crafty than others. The work ends here, leaving the reader in suspense.
